Wetherspoons worker gets married in a Spoons boozer after two-year wait due to Covid

An employee from Wetherspoon s chose to get married in a perfectly fitting place, a Spoons pub.

Emily Roche tied the knot to husband Liam in one of the budget pub chain's boozers after a wait of two years.

They booked the venue as they didn't want a formal service in a church or registry office.

However, the nuptials were put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Emily found the job at the Wetherspoon pub The Nonsuch Inn, in Cheam, south west London, closeby to where they live.

They were eventually able to have their wedding at The Knights Templar, which is another Spoons boozer in Chancery Lane, central London.

Shift leader Emily said: "It was pure coincidence that I chose The Knights Templar for our wedding, before I started working for the company.

"I was a customer at the pub and people mentioned that it was a wedding venue.

"It just seemed the perfect place, not too formal, because Liam and I are not that kind of couple".

She added: "It was a happy day, with lots of family, friends and colleagues and we were so pleased to finally be able to get married after all of the pandemic restrictions."

Emily - who has been promoted twice this year, having started as a bar associate - enjoyed a honeymoon with Liam in Scotland.

She and Liam met in a queue for a rock concert and they both work in hospitality, with Liam managing a bar in London.
